Yes, please:
The U.S. military believes it has dealt devastating and perhaps irreversible blows to al-Qaeda in Iraq in recent months, leading some generals to advocate a declaration of victory over the group, which the Bush administration has long described as the most lethal U.S. adversary in Iraq.
Declare victory and GTFO. I support this plan completely. Hell, Tim predicted this strategy (I can’t find the link, but I remember him posting it. I do have this link to a commenter of ours making the prediction in 2005).
It works.
*** Update ***
Bonus factoid. Yesterday, the WaPo editorialized on better numbers in Iraq. Today, it reports the military’s opinion that AQI is destroyed.
Noticeably absent from the commentary from Greater Wingnuttia – accusations of liberal bias.
*** Update #2 ***
Apparently the commenters have filled me in on how it works. Basically, as such:
“If I disagree with or don’t like a story, then it is liberal media bias. If I agree with or like a story, then it’s so powerful that not even the liberally biased media can ignore it.”
*** Update ***
General pushing this claim appears to be a political hack.
